ONE IN THR
Crisis Center play attempts to raise am
BY BOBBIE EFTEKHAR
The Battalion
L inda sits in her bedroom, Mary
sits at the kitchen table and
Elizabeth sits on a psychia
trist’s couch, each with the same
thoughts on their minds — “Why
me?” and “What did 1 do to deserve
this?”
The Brazos Valley Rape Crisis
Center wanted to do something dif
ferent to promote sexual assault
awareness month this April.
The result is “One in Three,” a
play based on three women's jour
nals of their experience with rape.
Sherry Hostetter, director of the
play and assistant director of the
rape crisis center, said she has nev
er directed a play before but has act
ed a few times including a mock tri
al of a date rape.
“The play came to us through the
state of Texas attorney general’s of
fice as a suggestion of what other
centers have done to celebrate sex
ual assault awareness month,”
Hostetter said.
Heather Mundt, a volunteer at
the center and a senior sociology
major, said she also supported the
idea and has taken on the responsi
bility as an internship.
“I picked the play because I
thought it was a creative way to
make the community aware of is
sues,” Mundt said.
Mundt began volunteering at the
center in November 1998, and be
gan her internship in January.
“I wanted to work with women
and help the organization,” she
said. “I have gained a lot of experi
ence in working in a non-profit help
agency and have learned a lot about
publicity and working with organi
zations around campus and town.”
Mundt said she hopes to help
provide more awareness and more
hope to victims of sexual assault.
“There are many survivors in
this community who haven’t come
out, and it is important to
let them know that a
woman can get on with her
life.”
The play consists of
three actors and the stage is
set with three scenes. One
scene takes place in a little
girl’s bedroom; this scene is
about Linda, who was
abused by her father. In an
other scene, Mary, a victim
of rape by her ex-boyfriend,
sits at her kitchen table.
The third scene portrays
Elizabeth, a victim of a
stranger’s attack in her own
home, as she sits in a psy
chiatrist’s office.
Each scene is presented
at the same time, and the
play moves back and forth
between the scenes. The
women tell how the inci
dents occurred and what is
sues they faced as a result.
Sarah Black plays Eliza
beth and is a volunteer at
the rape crisis center. She
said she has had experi
ence with acting through
operas and other musical
theater.
“I enjoy acting and
wanted to get the message
across and show people the differ
ent reactions one might have and
the ways to deal with it.” she said.
Black said the play portrays situ
ations encountered by victims and
their possible reactions.
"The goal of the play is to get the
message of survival across, and that
an act of sexual violence doesn’t
have to control and ruin your life,"
she said. "You can work through it
and be a strong person.”
Hostetter said she hopes to have
at least several hundred people at
tend the event.
“Anybody, any age, can become
a victim,” she said. "We want to
bring awareness to the community
